Yay .. Merry Christmas
We managed to squash almost all of the few remaining issues we've had
after Beta and have documented workarounds for the remaining issue we
still have in the release notes text which can be found here:

Not too sure which list to write to so I will hit them both, first person to tell me "don't
crosspost" wins :-)
So I bought a Mac G5 just to run this and when I hit "c" at POST power on time I do get the yaboot
prompt. So I hit enter and a pile of goodness starts to happen. All of that is text and that is
good.
Then I see a screen which is half black on the left and blue on the right and nothing else. No
text anywhere. Nothing.
I figure that for some obscure reason my G5 wants to display the center of the screen way the heck
off to the right. However no amount of adjustment of my monitor will help here.
I check the release notes and note this thing :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=766862
I don't think that is what is happening here.
Is there a pure text installer ? An option I can give to yaboot to go with pure text just so I can
get the OS installed and network setup and then I can fiddle with Xorg later ?
Dennis
At the prompt which answers "linux" when you hit tab (the yaboot
prompt), enter
linux text
and try that.
Cheers,
Robert
